They can't predict when one will happen.
That is wrong information.

The chances of one hitting the area over the next 30 years is 67% but it is impossible to tell when.

Basing it off previous quakes in the area and the time scale they are apart.

It's the same way that they 'predict' when volcanoes will erupt.
Say one Quake happened 900 Years ago, then another happened 600 then 300 we would expect there to be one around now.

They take other factors into account of course.
